Nintendo to Launch Wii U Game Console with Special GamePad since November

On Thursday, Nintendo officially announced
online that its new Wii U game
console will be on sale starting on November 18th in the USA and November
30th in Europe, while the sale in Japan will be on Dec. 8th.
The company said the new console will be in time for the crucial holiday
season, available in two versions: 8GB internal memory version at $299.99 and
32GB internal memory version for $344.99.

The new Wii U game console could meantime
be used as a home entertainment center while connected with streaming services.
It allows users to stream video content from Hulu, Amazon and Netflix to their
TV sets. The touchpad will show additional content, such as box scores and
statistics for sports broadcasts, a timeline of key moments for TV shows, and
previews for movie services.

Both versions of the Wii U come with a
single "GamePad", which is
similar to a full-fledged handheld console in itself, with a touchscreen,
motion detection, camera and stylus. Its small screen can be used to supplement
games played on a larger TV or serve as the main display.

In game demonstrations, the company showed
how the controller can be used for two-player gaming, with one user playing on
the main TV screen and another on the GamePad. The main console will use NFC
(near field communication) technology that is widely used in mobile payment
systems, as well as an expanded online system that includes game play and
social networks based around various titles.

As for the games, the Nintendo of America
President Reggie Fils-Aime stressed that the console will have a full
complement of games early in its launch. The lack of games available for
Nintendo's 3DS handheld launch last year was a major reason that device
stumbled after it went on sale, forcing the game company to slash prices. He
said over 50 games would be available from the launch through the end of March
2013, such as a new version of its classic "Super Mario Brothers"
franchise, "Metroid", "Call of Duty Black Ops 2," a
"Transformer" title, the successor to the "Bayonetta"
combat game, etc.

The game company has long tried to market
its hardware at less extreme gamers, featuring family play and titles aimed at
women. But the titles show it also intends to pursue the "hard-core"
game market along with rivals Sony and Microsoft.

The ability to use the Wii U as a home
entertainment center means Nintendo will compete with companies like Sony,
which has emphasized its networked music and video offerings' availability
through its PlayStation franchise.
